Nepal’s Gen Z protests have created new challenges for Indian media crews covering the demonstrations. Reports say that in Kathmandu, youth surrounded Indian reporters, chanting slogans like “Go Back Indian Media” and forcing them to leave.
Eyewitnesses claimed that some reporters were even pushed or manhandled before police intervened to cool down the situation. Protesters also blocked cameras, banged utensils, and danced in front of live shots to disrupt coverage.
Protesters argue that Indian media’s reporting has been biased, portraying the movement as only a reaction to social media bans. Demonstrators insist their struggle is much deeper, rooted in issues of corruption, unemployment, and political elite dominance.
